THIS WAS THE BEATLES FIRST APPEARANCE AT THIS CONCERT AND AT WHICH THEY DID NOT WIN AN AWARD!!

BUT A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN 4 MONTHS
ON THE 11th JANUARY 'PLEASE PLEASE ME' WAS RELEASED WHICH ROCKETED UP THE CHARTS TO NUMBER 2.
THEN ON 11th APRIL JUST TEN DAYS BEFORE THE CONCERT THEY RELEASED
'FROM ME TO YOU' WHICH SHOT TO No 1.
THIS STARTLING SUCCESS COULD NOT BE IGNORED AND THE BEATLES WERE ELEVATED TO THE PENULTIMATE ACT ON THE BILL BEHIND 'CLIFF RICHARD & THE SHADOWS'!
ON THE DAY THEY PERFORMED 4 SONGS
PLEASE PLEASE ME,FROM ME TO YOU,TWIST AND SHOUT,LONG TALL SALLY AND IT WAS GENERALLY ACKNOWLEGED THAT THEY STOLE THE SHOW.

THE TICKET MEASURES 3.5 ins x 3 ins
